I wonder if I can find a copy of Derrell's article.


Derrell's C&S caboose chronicles ran as a three part series of articles in the Aug/Sep--1995, Oct/Nov--1995 and Dec/Jan--1995/1996 issues of Outdoor Railroader.  

The photos, drawings and Derrell's research is the best organized discussion of the C&S cabooses that I've ever seen. The articles contain many of Derrell's drawings in 1/4" and 3/16" scales on slick paper. Also included are C&S Engineering drawings of the proposed 1908 caboose rebuild program, including elevations and floor plan.

If you can find back issues on Amazon or eBay, they are well worth purchasing, just for the C&S caboose content.

BTW, that looks to be a 1902 coal car, with tapered stakes in some of the photos. Care to share of couple of photos of that car?
